You can never get away from rude people. Not everyone get a good lesson in mannerism. So they just keep spreading it and passing it on to their children....

Thanks for sharing your article with us. Your car looks great.
Too bad you didn't have your rear diffuser.

Congratulations on being published, and what you have is not my "cup of tea", but hey - to each his own and there is no doubt you put in a LOT of work and effort.

I like the color - very cool.

I gotta ask one question - why is it that EVERY aftermarket hood I see has fitment issues?

Crashunit it looks good!! I too love the color(very different), the C-West lights and much more about the car. The C-West front has been done before but it's a really nice looking front end. Especially with the canards. Your 1/4 mile times are respectable too. There's one thing I think that would make the car look even better, but it's my opinion/I'm nit picky, and it's your car so it should be done the way you like it. Overall nice car and congrats on not having a civic(or was it del sol?) interior.

Thank you "God"

.... Wow I got all the big guns to come out in this post, kick ***! Only people I try to stay away from arguing with are the moderators and "Jimlab." Everyone else is fair game, ggggrrrrrrr.... But Thanks for all the copliments, suggestions, and not so nice compliments . I get each of which all the time, so I only have room for suggestions and compliments, all other negitive feedback are...... alas... forgotten . Anyways on a positive note, I going to Japan and Asia later this month, so I'm pretty excited to see if I can get any crazy new JDM stuff over there.

its all custom and a combination of the MS Widebody, RE JGTC widebody, and R Magic widebody. It took me at least 3 months just to figure out how and what I wanted it to really look like, and then another month designing it and translating it to my body shop boys.... I had to come in every other day to make sure everything was how I wanted it. Basically, I still wanted to keep some of my existing MSwidebody lines, but I wanted it bigger like the RE, and more flush like the R magic, and this is my streetable rendition of those 3 designs. Like I said in the past I have molds, notes, tricks, and other stuff on how to do make the kit, but I havent really thought about making them yet because:

a. It would be expensive
b. It would take a long time to make
c. Once you get it, it takes even longer to put on and
have everything blended properly
d. And lastly, I kinda like being the only one with it ,
and if someone was really serious about doing it, I
wouldnt want them to spend all their money getting
everything for it, and then go half *** on the paint
and install. Which I have seen too many MS wide
bodies butched already....

But if you want to try it on your own, I'll give you a hint, it doesnt hurt to have the whole MS wide body kit to start with as a base.

Hope you all dont mind, but Im just in a good mood today, and feel like being a postwhore .

Anyways to answer your question... alot more then I should have been! Over 1 bar, and enough nitrious to make a warehouse giggle ,and this was back on my first motor and when my car was what you see below. That wasnt my best time, however, I did manage to pull one amazing pass, (dont ask how, it was too long ago to remember) but I pulled of a high 11.99, and lets just say I am not mr. consistent, and needless to say I blew my motor very soon after. But basically I told the editor most of my runs were low to high 12's. Plus being how it is now, I think my third best run of 12.71 would be appropriate. I didnt want people all over my *** for slips and everything, so I kept it modest.

Crashunit, I think your fd before looks SO much better than your fd now. I also do think it is way overdone. I am not feeling the widebody kit, nor wing...Looks way to overdone...But your car before, it is amazing! Got any other pics of it then?

well i got to say that this is what i hope it was, custom, otherwise, i would have killed to get one like that.

i have to admit that this is the best body i have seen so far.

good job

Well, atleast you liked one of my forms , and no sorry that is the only picture I have of it from when it was basically stock. I scanned it from my 35mm camera film, its so freaking old, I lost the actual picture too, I only had two pics of it when it was like that back in 1997, and the other pic was of my motor which basically had a greddy TMIC and K&N filter with a cold air box. I guess when you have the FD for so long, you just go beyond what newer owners think is too much. Just keep in mind, I've had the car for quite awhile and things just build up. JimLabs car again is a good example, it hasnt even ran in year, yet hes still going crazy on it..... mad man?? or genius?? You decide

Ok, first I would like to say, please do not pay any attention to the banner stickered above my car, they (Slava) dissapeared (as in does not exsist anymore) and screwed me over. I was nieve at the time and had a gentlemens agreement with him before this was printed, and if it was up to me, I would have just opted for them to not print it. I should have listened to Jason (RX-7store) about Slava, but I knew neither of them or about the drama between them, and Slava apporached me and sweet talked me into this mess.
Hmm.. You were slapped by Slava too huh?

Hahahah.

I am not laughing at you nor your misfortune, but rather at all of those sheep who were one dollar short of offering Slava a blow job. You know, everyone who thought he was god?

Hahahah.

I do hope you can get what ever agreed upon worked out; yet, I do not see how Slava talking to you in a one-on-one would get you back on terms again.

BTW: Congrats on the publicity. Car looks clean!

Mike

nah I didnt lose any money or anything, I actually did get something out of it, but the one big (cough...cough...Turbo..... cough...cough..) promise never came thru.... so Im not in a bad case like Ive heard of others being in, but I just hate being minipulated or cheated and lied to, since I keep all of my promises, and if I cant do something I wont do it... just sucks there's so many dishonest people.

Some things are best kept secret, but I'll say just alittle about it, and PM you the rest.

Basically first and formost you have to know the right people, and it definatly helps that you live in California, basically as close to Los Angeles and San Deigo as possible, Yeah I know it sucks, but we started it . JK. Another important thing you should keep in mind is never forget names, nor **** off anyone in the industry, cause you never know what they can do for you later. Theres basically 3 ways to get what you want in the industry:

1. $$$$$$$$$

2. Know all the right people or be established in the
industry

3. kiss alot of major asses to get to the right people and
places...

guess where I started......
